All ordering info for decals is in Post #1 to post #4. The rest of this thread is just inmate questions and feedback, so you only need to look at this post and the next one, if you're looking to order decals and patches.

These are high quality Avery reflective sheeting decals. Each decal is laminated for longevity.

They may look fuzzy and gray in these scans, but they are white with black lettering and are very sharp. They are printed on high quality reflective stock and look at lot better in person than these scans.

The small white and amber oval ADV decals, and the FYYFF decal, are suitable for application on both flat and surfaces with compound curves, such the rear of a helmet. These decals are made of a premium 3M highly reflective graphic film, and are also laminated for longevity. Furthermore, you will notice small channels when you peel the decal from the backing paper; this is to facilitate the installation and allows you to reposition the decal if it was not positioned properly. Once you apply pressure - by rubbing on the full surface of the decal before removing the transfer tape - you activate the adhesive and it becomes more aggressive with time.

Application not recommended on the helmet's chin bar. It is suitable for lesser compound curves such as on the back of a helmet.. no creases or wrinkles..

These Pass the Bacon decals have been donated for final liquidation with all proceeds going back to the site.

How to affix these decals?
Clean the area thoroughly with a soft cloth and denatured alcohol. Remove the paper backing and apply slowly from the edge inwards, being careful not to trap air bubbles. Then use a credit card or a soft cloth to rub on the transparent masking of the decal to be sure it's well affixed. Now, slowly and gently remove the clear masking tape. There should be NO clear or translucent masking tape left on the decal.

I've been asked if personalized decals can be made available. Here's what my decals guy came up using my username. Say you meet an ADV inmate on the road and want to get his/her contact info. Or you see an inmate's bike and want to contact him to talk about it. You use your smart phone to scan the QR code, which leads you to the inmate profile page. If you're a member here, you can send a PM or email if they are enabled. Anyone scanning your QR code, who's note a registered user here, cannot see your profile nor make contact.

Please note that the pink line is the outline of the decal's border and is not printed on the decal.

1- Click on Add to Cart
2- Click on Checkout
3- On the Checkout page, click on Add special instructions to the seller, see below:

4- A box will open up, see below:

Each set of 2 decals are printed on adhesive vinyl and cost $10 plus shipping of $2.50 for up to 4 decals. 4 decals cost $15. Please note that you cannot combine the shipping of custom QR decals with regular ADV decals, as the custom decals require a bit of time before they are made by my decals guy and will be mailed separately. To see how it works, scan any QR decal above or below with your smart phone's QR scanner app. Decals can be ordered in multiples of 2. Please be patient when you order these custom made decals as my decals guy will make them once a month and then mail them out. It's fiddly work to make just 2 decals, so it was either drop these all together or get them done on his timeline.

Ten? Are you going to scalp them? You must have stiffed me on the shipping!

I'm going to have to revise the shipping rates at some point, i.e. when the post office jacks up their rates every year, plus paypal takes their cut.. I rounded up or down the rates, so I'm sure I'll be on the hook for the difference It's only money and we're doing this to spread the love and help keep the lights on!

Alright, thank you for your orders. I have emailed you to confirm your order. Your orders will be mailed tomorrow by general "air mail", no tracking numbers, and no way to know exactly how long it's going to take, but do keep an eye on your mailman's vehicle in case all of a sudden it's sporting an ADV decal And please be patient.. it is snail mail after all.

Wahoo,
Been waiting what seems like ages for ADV decals to be available, with a bit of luck we should get ours just in time for the next trip (Scandinavia, leaving on 26th August)

Pack quickly GB

BTW - can somebody explain why shipping to Europe takes 3-5 days, yet shipping to US takes 3-14 days? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complainging, just wondering.
(Might complain if I was in US and had to wait 2 weeks! )
